The 2010 Caribbean Hurricane Awareness Tour was a “huge success,” reports Dennis Feltgen, spokesman for the National Hurricane Center.

As you’ll recall, hurricane forecasters conducted the tour a couple of weeks ago to urge residents around the Caribbean to prepare for the upcoming season – and to allow people to walk through a hurricane hunter aircraft.

At one stop alone, Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico, more than 17,000 people viewed the Air Force Reserve C-130 turboprop.
